Sole for a shoe

ABSTRACT

A striking surface of a sole for a shoe comprises a central transition zone having a centerline extending substantially from the front of the sole to the rear of the sole, the central transition zone dividing the striking surface of the sole into a medial portion and a lateral portion. The medial portion of the striking surface is disposed at a first angle of inclination with respect to a support surface. The lateral portion of the striking surface is disposed at a second angle of inclination with respect to the support surface. The first angle of inclination may decrease along a length of the sole, from a front of the central transition zone to a rear of the central transition zone. The second angle of inclination may increase along a length of the sole, from a front of the central transition zone to a rear of the central transition zone.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bottom and a lateral edge of a firstembodiment showing a left sole for a shoe of my new design. A secondembodiment would be a right sole for a shoe, which would be a mirrorimage of the views herein.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the bottom and a medial edge of the leftsole of FIG. 1. In a right sole for a shoe, this view would be a mirrorimage.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the lateral edge and a top of the soleof FIG. 1. In a right sole for a shoe, this view would be a mirrorimage.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the medial edge and the top of the soleof FIG. 1. In a right sole for a shoe, this view would be a mirrorimage.

FIG. 5 is a top view of the sole of FIG. 1. In a right sole for a shoe,this view would be a mirror image.

FIG. 6 is a bottom view of the sole of FIG. 1. In a right sole for ashoe, this view would be a mirror image.

FIG. 7 is a side view of the lateral side of the sole of FIG. 1, withthe sole extending front to rear (left to right) in the drawing. In aright sole for a shoe, this view would be a mirror image.

FIG. 8 is a side view of the medial side of the sole of FIG. 1, with thesole extending rear to front (left to right) in the drawing. In a rightsole for a shoe, this view would be a mirror image.

FIG. 9 is a front view of the left sole of FIG. 1. In a right sole for ashoe, this view would be a mirror image.

FIG. 10 is a rear view of the left sole of FIG. 1. In a right sole for ashoe, this view would be a mirror image.

FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the bottom of the left sole of FIG. 1.In a right sole for a shoe, this view would be a mirror image.

FIG. 12 is a partial perspective cross-sectional view taken across thetoe of the left sole of FIG. 11 at line 12-12. In a right sole for ashoe, this view would be a mirror image.

FIG. 13 is a plan cross-sectional view taken across the toe of the leftsole of FIG. 6 at line 13-13. In a right sole for a shoe, this viewwould be a mirror image.

FIG. 14 is a partial perspective cross-sectional view taken across theforefoot of the left sole of FIG. 11 at line 14-14. In a right sole fora shoe, this view would be a mirror image.

FIG. 15 is a plan cross-sectional view taken across the forefoot of theleft sole of FIG. 6 at line 15-15. In a right sole for a shoe, this viewwould be a mirror image.

FIG. 16 is a partial perspective cross-sectional view taken across themidfoot of the left sole of FIG. 11 at line 16-16. In a right sole for ashoe, this view would be a mirror image.

FIG. 17 is a plan cross-sectional view taken across the midfoot of theleft sole of FIG. 6 at line 17-17. In a right sole for a shoe, this viewwould be a mirror image.

FIG. 18 is a partial perspective cross-sectional view taken across theheel of the left sole of FIG. 11 at line 18-18. In a right sole for ashoe, this view would be a mirror image; and,

FIG. 19 is a plan taken across the heel of the left sole of FIG. 6 atline 19-19. In a right sole for a shoe, this view would be a mirrorimage.

The portions of the figures depicted in broken lines are not part of theclaimed design.
